I have not used any of these activities, but why not get my pupils out of the classroom for once? I am for those activities as they foster solidarity, enhance non-verbal communication and cater for all ages if adapted.

I would try to include word games in my lessons, and as a teacher of English I would try to use both Greek and English in my classes in order for pupils to get acqauinted with both language codes. So, I think that flashcards and word songs are a safe solution in the learning process.

I have tried the catch-the-ball game with my regular students and would definitely like to play it with migrant students were it the case. Also I would try to engage them in activities, not to make their stories known, but to make them feel comfortableQ for example I would make use of flashcards with animals, food and toys and play a like/dislike conversation game.

My migrant pupils are very well integrated because they have been in Greece and into the Greek Education system since they were born. However, I would imagine that if a large number of refugee or migrant were to attend classes at Greek schools, the government should account for mediators and special pedagogists who would come in frequent contact with volunteer experienced teachers about the issue.

I do not have any refugee pupils in my classes, still there are a few migrant pupils from Russia or Albania, who are very are well-integrated.

Module 1.5

The idea to involve immigrant children in activities out of the classroom is really appealing as it does not constitute a means of pressure for self-integration in a foreign country. When engaged in outdoor activities children will feel more free and connected to native students. Applying RespAct project ideas are definitely useful and in case refugee children come to our school, those ideas will be among my suggestions as a teacher

Module 1.4

Teacher status in Greece has been undermined in the course of time: too few resources for them, infrequent lifelong training schemes, to say nothing about the remuneration system. Nowadays, at this challenging time and age, drastic measures must be taken by the government for teacher support in order for them to better deal with immigrants in the classroom. Istead of being left to their own devices, teachers should be informed, trained and advisedby experts in immigration issues and refugee integration, especially if those people are bound to stay in host countries like mine for a long, long time...

In my school, there are no refugee students at the moment, but as it was discussed in one of our meetings it is accepted to do so by submersion, i.e. exposing students to the same linguistic environment as the native children. By following the same classes, it is difficult at first, but since it is a primary school, they can be more easily accepted by their peers. Also, the State has organised special structures at camps, which are still of course on an experimental, on-going process. Additionally, refugee children are expected according to the state to follow parallel classes of Language and/or other subjects for better school achievement.

Module 1.2

I think both trauma and language are factors which request the immediate support of the teachers and the local community. Up to this moment, Albanian children of the past two decades have well integrated themselves in our school system. In my area, in Piraeus, there are not any Syrian refugees in schools yet, but those who have not managed to cross the borders so far will inevitably have to stay for a long time, perhaps even raise their families here. Until then, it is vital for them to feel as compfortable as possible besides their traumatised souls. The academic efficiency comes second in the hierarchy of importance.

Module 1.1

Trying to make young immigrants feel comfortable in the Greek classroom can be more than challenging in the Greek context. No matter how big-hearted Greek teachers may be, it is more often than not a matter of sufficient infrastructure. Unless bigger school buildings, greater classrooms in size, specialised instructors are trained, appropriate funds are collected, the integration of young immigrants at chools will suffer.
